SWEAT-PAD FOR HORSE-DOLLARS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 231,326, dated August 17, 1880.

Application filed July 3, 1880.

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, EDWARD R. JONES, of Ohemung, in the county of Ohemungand State of New York, have invented a new and valuable Im provem en t in S weat-Iads forHorse-Oolla-rs and I do hereby declare that thefollowin g is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, makinga part of this specification, and to thcletters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of a top view of my improved pad, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view thereof.

This invention has relation to improvements in pads for horse-collars, designed to prevent the occurrence of galls, and to cure the same when extant; and it consists in a sweat-pad for horse-collars, composed of one or more layers of felting, an exterior covering of waterproof leather or oil-cloth, and an interior cow ering of canvass or oil-cloth coated with a compound of lead, paint,.oil, and carbolic acid, forming asoft, flexible, and remedial bearing, as hereinafter shown and described.

In the annexed drawings, the letter A designates my improved collarpad, composed of one or more thicknesses or layers of card board, paper, or other felt inclosed between a canvas or other woven envelope, at, and a preferably-glazed envelope, 0, the whole being pressed into shape to fitthe shoulders, and stitched together, as indicated in Fig. 1, the

(N0 model.)

envelope at being designed to bear against the neck and shoulders of the animal, and the outer envelope, 1), to prevent rain from penetrating and soaking the layer or layers of felt c.

The face a of the pad is given one or more coats of lead-pigment dissolved in oil and a proportion of carbolic acid, the effect of which is by its cooling properties to prevent undue sweating, and thus prevent galling, and by its remedial qualities to heal and cure extant galls.

Sometimes the healing compound above described may be applied to the bearing-surfaces of an ordinary collar when the pad is not used with very good results.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

As an improved article of manufacture, a sweat-pad for horse-collars, composed of one or more layers of felting, an exterior covering of water-proof leather or oil-cloth, and an illterior covering of canvas or oil-cloth coated with a compound of lead, paint, oil, and carbolic acid, forming a soft, flexible, and remedial hearing, as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

EDWARD RICHARDS JONES.
